For those who have watched the famous rendition of R.K. Narayans Malgudi Days on T.V. this place will not look unfamiliar. Agumbe is a small village on the state highway, known for its sunset and beautiful treks it has to offer.
Nearby waterfalls are Onaki Abbi, Barkana falls, and Jogigundi falls. Trek the local fame, Narasimha Parvatha. You can also opt for a trek to Nisha gundi, or to Barkana falls. An upstream trek from Onaki Abbi during one of the drier seasons is remarkably scenic. Try to arrange for a local guide wholl help with the trek routes, and its advisable because the jungle is dense.
Alternatively, one can tag up with the Karnataka Mountaineering Club, or one of the many adventure clubs in Bangalore for a trek to Narasimha Parvatha. Staying in the village, however, is a pleasant experience.
This place receives the highest rainfall in the state. Post monsoon is the most beautiful time to visit, never mind the leeches.
A direct bus plies between Bangalore and Agumbe. If you miss that, you can take one of the frequent buses to Shimoga. Mini-buses between Shimoga and Agumbe are abundant. There is a direct bus at 8:00 p.m. from Agumbe to Bangalore from its one shed bus stop. And you can use your credit card for this bus. a
